Can a Tennessee native explain to me what was the background of this bill? I don't fully understand why there is a need for this during the school day? Are the school days so long?

The only people I know that “go to church” in the middle of the day, every day, are Muslims.

When I lived in Utah and was going to Jr. High, the LDS kids had “Released Time” in their schedule to go next door to the Mormon ward and get an hour of religious classes.
This looks like the same basic concept.

In the ‘50s and ‘60s, every Friday afteenoon we had Religious Istruction. School buses took kids to whatever church they wanted. (They didn’t have to go if they didn’t want to.) It was a small town with about six churches.

Here's the basis for this across the country:
School Ministries.org It's totally legal. I'm involved in this in South Carolina. It's fantastic. For the upcoming school year we have a waiting list for high school students wanting to participate in the program. Very encouraging to us.

It is voluntary and allows the students to go to a Bible class off campus because the atheists have succeeded in making schools off limits to any instruction that does not promote homosexuality or other types of deviancy.
There is no brainwashing involved in teaching the Bible. The concepts contained therein are the underpinnings of western civilization. They form the basis of the social contracts that we see dissolving in front of our eyes.

It's a good idea. It will help counter the godless worldview that is taught in every government school in this nation. Please remember that it is impossible to have a religiously neutral school and all government schools teach everything through the godless secular humanist lens.
In Utah, Mormon high schoolers are permitted to attend one hour of religious instruction each school day in buildings close to their schools.
